Montichiari Italy

	Montichiari Italy Rosa Mystica Montichiari is a small village in the province Lombardia in Italy. It is not far from lake Garda and the nearest city is Brescia. In this village, surrounded by mountains, Our Lady appeared in the spring of 1947. Pierrina Gilli a nurse, who worked at the local hospital, was in the chapel of the hostpital to do her prayers. While praying Our Lady suddenly appeared. She was surrounded by a wonderfull light and she looked sad. Tears were in her eyes as she looked at Pierrina. Pierrina noticed that she could see the heart of Our Lady. The heart was pierced by three swords. The three swords have their own meaning and can be explained as followed. The first sword: This is the unworthy celebration of the Holy Mass and unworthy recieving of the eucharisty The second sword: The priests who are unfaithful to their promise and are sinful in many ways. The thirth sword: This means betrayal and repudiation of the faith in God and Jesus Christ. During this first apparition Our Lady asks for prayer, sacrificion and penance The second apparition : 13th july 1947 Our Lady appeared, to Pierrina, wearing a white dress. The heart, pierced by the three swords, was replaced by three lovely roses. Each rose had a different color and meaning. The first rose, coloured white and representing the spirit of prayers. The second rose, coloured yellow and representing the spirit of penance and conversion. The third rose, coloured red and representing the spirit of sacrificion Pierrina had not recognised who she had met the first time and she asked her: "Who are you?" Our Lady responded with a lovely smile on her face: "I am the mother of Jezus and of all people. Our Lord sends me to bring a new devotion to the people and the institutions who are dedicated to me and to Our Lord. I shall protect those who are dedicated to me. I ask you to increase their vocation. So the holyness will come true. I ask you to celebrate every 13th day of the month in honour of the Holy Virgin. Special prayers must be prayed ( during 12 days) with special dedication. On the 13th day i will bring grace and mercy to them who who have called and honoured me. I wish that the 13th of juli will be celebrated as the day of the Mystical Rose (Rosa Mystica)." Pierinna asked Our Lady if a miracle would happen.Our lady responded: "The greatest miracle is the conversion and the renewing of the assumption of Our Lord by those who love him, as well the end of the betrayal of the faith and the attacks on the faith and those who are dedicated and loyal. This is the greatest miracle that could ever happen." Pierinna interpretated the words of Our Lady and gave the following explanation: Maria is the teacher of our soul and the mother of the mysterical body of Christ. She is the Mother of the church. These words were, without any knowledge of the words spoken by Our Lady, miraculously certified by pope PaulVI at the 3th convention of clergymen. In his final statement on the 21st of november 1964 he mentioned Our Lady as the Mother of the church. He said that all christians must honour the Holy Virgin by calling her The Mother of the church. The third apparition: 22 oktober 1947 Pierrina met Our Lady in the chapel of the hospital. This time she was acompanied by several stafmembers, doctors en villagers. Our lady told Pierrina the people had to become more devoted and spoke the following words: “ I am the mediatrix between humanity and my Son. I do this in favour of the blessed souls who are dedicated to Our Lord. God is tired of all the insults and attacks towards him. He calls for justice for those who are so sinful" With the words: “Live your life with love",Our Lady disappeared. De fourth apparition: 16 november 1947 Our lady appeared to Pierrina in the Basilica of Montichiari. There were several people present. Among them were some priests. Our Lady spoke the following words: “The patience of Our Lord is coming to an end. He cannot tolerate the horrouble sins against the purity and holyness. He is planning to send a tidal wave of punishment to humanity. I have asked Our Lord to be mercyfull. Therefor I ask for prayer and penance and forgiveness for those sins." Pierina responded by saying "Yes,Yes" .Our Lady added some more to her message: “ I ask with endless love, let the priests show their dedication to Our Lord to all the people. Let them convert those who are sinful and bring them back to the true chistianity. Those who comply with this wish, will recieve my blessing and mercy." Pierinna asked Our Lady if there was any hope for forgiving. Our Lady responded: “For all who leave their sins and sinful life behind, those will be forgiven. The 5th apparition: 22 november 1947 Agian Our lady appeared to Pierinna in the basilica of Montichiari. A lot of people were present to witness the apparition of Our lady. Our Lady told to kneel in the middle of the church and make a crosslet four times on the floor (with her tongue). Our Lady pointed at the spot adn said: “To this spot I will return and on this spot many will be converted." Our lady looked very sad and spoke: “ De Christians of your Nation are among those who insult Our lord at most with their sins and unchasity. Because of these sins, Our Lord demands prayer, many sacrificions and penance. Penance means to accept the crosses we bear with dignity and carry out the tasks in the name of penance. On the 8th of december in the afternoon I shall return to this place. This will be the hour of mercy." This was the only occassion Our lady announced her appearance.

They will become dedicated and loyal to Our Lord with everlasting love." The 6th apparition: 07 December 1947 Our Lady appeared in the Basilica to Pierinna.

Assumed was that this were Jacinta and Francesco the seers of fatima who deceased in 1919 and 1920. Our Lady spoke: “Tomorrow I will show my heart. This the heart that only a few know. In Fatima I asked to spread the dedication to my immaculate heart. I will bring my heart to the christian families in Bonate (near Bergamo). Here in Montichiari i wish to be honoured as "the Mystical Rose". The dedication to my heart must be honoured in all religious instituntions so many more can receive the grace of my maternal heart." Our lady told Pierinna a secret and promised that she has to reveal it when Our lady decided the secret may be revealed. She also gave Pierinna a message. “Jacinta and Francesco will assist you at all time. They also have suffered al lot. I wish for you all the goodness these two children are. Our Lady spread her arm as a sign of protection. She looked up to the sky and spoke the words: "Praise the Lord" The 7th apparition: 08 december 1947 In the church many priests were present. Pierinna had some difficulty to enter the Basilica but she managed. She kneeled at the spot Our lady pointed the day before. While praying the rosary, Pierinna suddenly cried, "Oh Lady" Silence came to the people in the church. OUr Lady appeared. She stood on a stair wich was decorated with a white, a red and a yellow rose. She came down the stairs like a queen and smiled. “I am the immaculate conception. My name is Mary and I am the mother fo my divine son , Jesus Christ. Here I am and I wish, that the people know me as the Mystical Rose. Please celebrate this hour of grace, every year on the 8th of december at noon. Many will experience the physical grace of this heavenly devotion. My son Jesus wil give, to those who are good people and those who pray for the sinners, his abundant grace. Before long there will be an announcement by the holy father of the church (pope Pius XII). He will tell it is my wish to publish "the hour of grace". People who can not cometo this place must pray (at noon) at home so they can celebrate and receive the grace through me. Those who pray on these tiles and show their tears of penance, they will find a secure stairway to heaven. They will find protection and mercy by my maternal heart." Our Lady showed her heart and spoke: "See this heart, loved by so many but also opposed by so many. When good and bad people are united in prayer mercy and peace will come to them through my heart. God will and shall protect the good people, by my intermediation, but he still wants to punish humanity. Soon people will aknowledge and accept "the hour Of Grace" Pierinna saw that Our Lady was about to leave and spoke to her: Beloved Lady, I am gratefull. Bless my homeland Italy, bless the whole world. Bless the Holy Father of the church, the priests, the faithfull and the unfaithfull. Our Lady responded: "Already I have prepared an overflow of grace to all the children who hear my call and who enclose these words in their heart. She assured Pierinna she would come back at a certain time to give Pierinnna permission to publish the revealed secret she told Pierinna. After the apparition of 08 december Pierinna went to a monastery and stayed there hidden for the world. She worked in the kitchen of the monastery and awaited for Our Lady to re-appear. After a long time of 19 years the moment of the apparition came (17th april 1966) in Fontanella not far from Montichiari.
